Johannesburg is a small mining town that has celebrated large growth and then almost
total recession. As a station to the railroad which served the other
mining communities in the area it grew quickly. As the other mining communities
gained their own mills and supply lines Johannesburg stopped growing.
It had a fully developed water system and many of the businesses necessary
to support the miners and millers that came to the area during the Gold boom years.
